Act IV The Ball

Previous Chapter

"I'm back."

Xia Moyi pushed the door in, and took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and changed them in.

Then she suddenly saw a pair of wide slippers sitting quietly in the corner of the shoe cabinet, the shoes were much larger than the two pairs next to her, obviously he belonged to a man.

"Yiyi, come and try the sweet and sour fish I just learned, it took me a lot of work to make it," the still young and beautiful mother came out of the kitchen with a plate of fish. "Are you still used to it in China? I remember you always couldn't sleep well when you changed your environment. ”

"There's nothing I don't get used to, it's my home." Xia Moyi closed the shoe cabinet.

According to the tips given by the "Sun Man" Xia Moyi came to China, she booked a ticket to Hong Kong on the same day, she was not worried about the accommodation, because her mother lives in the New Territories of Hong Kong, this house was given to her mother by her father back then, and Xia Moyi's childhood memories are retained here, there was a warm family here a few years ago, and her father at that time was not the director of the FBI, but a competent father who was willing to go to the playground with Xia Moyi.

"Why does Mom keep Daddy's slippers?" Xia Moyi sat down at the dining table, "It's good to throw away the useless things." ”

"How can you say it's useless, in case your father comes back one day......"

"Mom, you don't think it's possible, do you?" Xia Moyi began to cut the five-ripe steak, "He's almost going to forget about your precious daughter, and he's going to forget about this home." ”

"Didn't that bastard make our Yiyi unhappy again," Mom slapped the dinner knife on the table excitedly, and her reaction made Xia Moyi stunned, "Don't be angry Yiyi, I'll take a plane to the United States another day to settle accounts with him!" ”

"Mom still don't go," Xia Moyi shook her head helplessly, "Have you forgotten that you have airsickness?" The last time I visited me, I vomited at the airport and collapsed, and it took two days of rest to recover. ”

"It was my first time on a plane, how did I know I would get motion sickness, I haven't gotten faint in all these years of driving, haven't I?" Mom said, "I'll bring anti-motion sickness medicine next time I go." ”

"Did Yiyi find the boy she liked?" Mom asked suddenly.

"The vinegar of the sweet and sour fish is too much, the sourness is too strong, and the sweetness is not obvious."

"Oh, the first time I did it, there was inevitably something wrong...... Is there a boy who has a good heart? ”

Xia Moyi stroked her forehead, and sure enough, changing the topic still couldn't avoid her mother's gossip.

"Not yet." Xia Moyi was helpless.

"Aren't there a lot of handsome guys in America? Why, it didn't get into your eyes? According to your requirements, it is really high, do you like Chinese handsome guys to come to China? Mom said, "Otherwise, I really don't understand why you gave up your studies in the United States to come to China, because the education in the United States is so good." ”

"I just came back to find someone, Mom, don't guess."

"It's looking for a boyfriend, sure enough, girls are starting to have a good impression of boys at this age, if you really want to find a boyfriend, I don't care about you, but you must find someone who is really good to you, not like your father, of course, you have to be as handsome as your father."

Looking at the exaggerated expression on her mother's face, Xia Moyi smiled helplessly.

Maybe my mother married my father because my father had a handsome face. Xia Mo thought.

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest." Xia Moyi put down the knife and fork and got up, "Also, I will use chopsticks, I don't need to prepare knives and forks next time, and my mother is not used to eating five-ripe steaks, so don't make them anymore." ”

"I'm not afraid that you're not used to China, I heard that Americans like to eat this kind of bloody stuff that I did," Mom pushed the steak to the side with a disgusted look, "I thought you would get used to eating this." ”

"I'm only used to eating this family's food." Xia Moyi walked into the bedroom and said without looking back.

"Are you still used to it in China?"

"Why would you ask the same question as my mother?" Xia Moyi frowned.

She's chatting with the Sunmen. As soon as Xia Moyi turned on the computer, his message popped up, as if he knew that Xia Moyi would be online at this time. I don't know much about the Sun Man Xia Moyi, I only know that he is also a hacker, and he has taught her several of the latest hacker attack methods before, Xia Moyi asked his name and he always answered Perfunctorily Arnold? Schwarzenegger or Jason? Statham or Tom? Cruise, in short, this guy wants to disguise himself as a handsome, stylish and popular movie star, Xia Moyi wants to see through him like peeling off the onion layer by layer, but sometimes she is too lazy to peel it off, because it is too spicy......

Xia Moyi tried to hack into his computer, and his computer was not designed with any firewall or encryption, but most hackers are very concerned about whether their computer's network is secure, because they are likely to be targeted by hacker hunters. Xia Moyi effortlessly turned on his computer, the desktop was full of game icons, Need for Speed full series, Resident Evil full series, Final Fantasy full series, it seems that the Sun Man is a complete game nerd, she searched for the Sun Man's information but found nothing, all blank, at that time Xia Moyi had a feeling that the Sun Man had long expected her to invade, and he did not shy away from opening the door for her.

"It just shows that I care about you as much as your mother." The Sunman sent a smiling face.

"No, I think your way of thinking is starting to tend to be female," Xia Moyi replied very seriously, "Is it because you have been assimilated because you have been with Hawaiian women for too long?" ”

"Oh my God, you're right, it looks like I'm going to have to get along with the men."

"Give up the idea, you're going to fall in love with a man the way you think as a woman."

"No, no, no, my sexual orientation is still normal, and I don't feel how disgusting it is for the beautiful women around me to come up with it."

"Can you give me more information about that person?" Xia Moyi couldn't break his cheekiness, so he had to change the topic.

"You're bargaining, Xia Moyi, we said that if you lose, you won't get any information, I've generously told you that he's in Hong Kong, don't be embarrassed for me anymore, I'm a very principled person," Sun Man said vigorously, "However, if you send me a picture of you, I can consider giving you a little more hint." ”

"What about your so-called principles?" Xia Moyi had a look of disdain on her face, "Can one of my photos make you give up your principles?" ”

"A man can let go of all his principles in front of a beautiful woman."

"Okay, okay, you wait." Xia Moyi was helpless.

She adjusted the camera on her computer desk and pointed it at herself. After being silent for a long time, Xia Moyi's expressionless face showed a flaw, she barely put on a smile, and then took a quick photo, the smile was fleeting. She felt like she had never felt so ridiculous as she was now.

"Ho ho ho, our Xia Moyi is still so beautiful, my nosebleed is about to come out."

"Hey, I'm not here to give you a picture of me!" Xia Moyi was completely desperate for his disconnection, "Get down to business!" ”

"Okay, okay, you're so generous, I can't be stingy, can I? So the next hint, he's a man, about the same age as you, as for the physical characteristics...... As I said before, it's a waste of wood, and there is a very waste face," the sun man said, "Okay, I can't give any more hints, the rest is up to you, I'm sure Xia Moyi will find him." ”

After saying that, the sun man went offline, and Xia Moyi didn't reply even after asking a few questions, it seemed that he didn't plan to say anything more.

Xia Moyi suddenly couldn't understand why she went to such great lengths to find a hacker, that hacker just destroyed her computer and a few photos worth remembering, she didn't have to find him to settle accounts, and Xia Moyi didn't know what to do after finding him, did she beat him up? Xia Moyi doesn't think that her physical fitness is comparable to that of boys.

Everything you do is just because of a whim? No, Xia Moyi didn't think so, she had a special, very vague feeling, it felt like she had been looking for something a long time ago, she had forgotten what she was looking for, but she had to find it, and now she felt that she was not far from that thing, that thing had been waiting for her.

"Hurry up Luo Yaochen, we don't have much time."

"I know, but I forgot how the tie was tied."

Luo Yaochen walked towards Di Rui while wearing a tie. They walked along the tree-lined cobblestone road, and their figures disappeared in the shadows of the pigeon trees. Luo Yaochen didn't forget how to tie it, but he didn't know how to tie it at all, he just felt that it would be very shameless to say that he wouldn't tie it, he had never touched such a thing as a tie before, he felt that this thing still had to be worn by an adult, and wearing it himself gave people a childish feeling of wanting to become a mature person, and Luo Yaochen really didn't reflect any beauty when he wore this thing.

But tonight was different, tonight he was wearing a full Burberry suit, a pair of ferragamo leather shoes on his feet, and a precious perregaux on his wrist, like a warrior in armor ready to go into battle, yes, tonight he was a warrior, but he did not have a warrior's heart in his breast. He knew that this set of clothes was worth a lot of money, he had seen it in fashion magazines, such a set of luxury goods worth 2.5 million yuan, very traditional British style, Luo Yaochen felt like he was covered with bombs when he wore it, and it would explode if he accidentally rubbed it, since he put it on, Luo Yaochen has been trying to avoid physical contact, and he is far away from others when he goes to the toilet to urinate.

Of course, Luo Yaochen didn't have the money to buy this kind of luxury, this dress was given by Di Rui, a school director who controlled 35% of the shares of Harrow School, and it was a drop in the bucket to take out this money.

"Have you really ever worn a tie?" Di Rui looked at the dead knot around Luo Yaochen's neck, "Your technique is like tying a shoelace instead of a tie, if you use it to hang yourself, you will definitely die." ”

Dilary stepped forward and began to untie the dead knot, and tied it neatly for him, looking skillful.

"If I die, I can become a contractor, I'd love to try." Luo Yaochen didn't care.

"Are the lights ready?"

"Uh-oh, something went wrong, but it was fixed quickly."

"This dress is a bit out of the way for you...... Seriously, I still haven't been able to see the British style in this dress, but it's more like a local tyrant. Dilri straightened his feathers that had been tilted to one side.

"I don't think it's suitable, I'm not born to wear suits, it's really outrageous for you to give me such expensive clothes." Luo Yaochen said this, but he was actually overjoyed in his heart, and he felt that he suddenly became a lot more handsome and taller when he wore this suit.

"It's okay to do well," Deri patted him on the shoulder, "I never deny people who do well...... Remember what I asked you to do? ”

"Forget that, I can really hang myself with a tie." Luo Yaochen felt that his worries were unnecessary.

They were preparing for tonight's final dance. The final ball is not uncommon in British schools, and it can even be said that it is traditional, all the students on campus will participate, people will gather in the gorgeous and brilliant lobby, the soft lighting renders the atmosphere, the comfortable overture is used as a foreshadowing, the boys dress straight, the girls dance skirts swing, and finally the dance music ignites**, the boys and girls dance with the person they like, of course, it is indispensable to take the opportunity to confess on this occasion.

According to legend, 2,500 years ago, the Celts living in Ireland took October 31 as the last day of the year, and November 1 is the beginning of the new year, which also symbolizes the arrival of winter. On this night, the Celts believed that Samhain, the god of death, would return to earth with an unseen soul to find a substitute and be reborn, so they lit torches and burned animals as gifts to the god of death, and the priests of the clan also presided over the ceremony. In order to drive away the wandering ghosts in the night, the Celts would use the heads or fur of animals to dress up as ghosts, and make terrible noises in their mouths, which is the origin of the masquerade, which has developed into not only a simple entertainment, but also a social occasion for Western high society to display their wealth and power.

Luo Yaochen and Di Rui have been preparing for this dance for two weeks, in fact, the preparation time in previous years does not need to be so long, one week is enough, the reason why it is more than double is because Di Rui has increased the cost of this ball, he wants to make this dance perfect, everything is the best, for example, the original music was played by the music department, but this time it was replaced by a well-known performance orchestra, The food comes from the Italian restaurant Jamie' Sitalian owned by British celebrity chef Jamieoliver, the cutlery has been replaced with silver, the door handle and armrests have been replaced with gold-plating, in short, everything gives people the feeling of being in high society.

"Remember, we're here to hunt this time, hunters never let their prey escape, and the hunter who lets his prey escape is incompetent," Dilri put on a Venetian mask inlaid with gold and silver, and handed Luo Yaochen the same one, "Come on, this is our hunting ground, we are the protagonists, we will be the biggest winners tonight!" ”

The winner is you and not us, you have prey but I don't, I've never been the protagonist, I'm just a passerby, and a passerby is always used to set off the real protagonist, isn't it? Luo Yaochen said in his heart.

The church not far ahead is the place where the ball is held, the surrounding spotlights shroud the whole church in a sacred halo, the peculiar wall carvings are solemn and solemn, the towering ceiling is like a sword to cut through the night, the red carpet is spread in front of the door, the huge red rose baskets are lined up on both sides, and the waiters in black suits and pure white gloves bow respectfully to them and push open the door for them.

The golden light poured into the sight like a tide, and the golden hall unfolded like a scroll, although Luo Yaochen had been in charge of the background for the past two weeks, he could more or less imagine what the dance party would look like, but he was still shocked to see his results, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Cashmere carpets are extravagant and extravagant, crystal chandeliers are crystal clear, every ornament sparkles like diamonds, and the 15-metre-high dome is carved with colorful murals depicting the twilight of the gods, and at the end is a five-row long table full of delicacies. Men and women are dressed in gorgeous costumes, everyone is so polite, boys are dressed in crisp black suits or tuxedos, the leather shoes under their feet are shiny, girls are wearing all kinds of dance skirts, deep V long skirts can be seen everywhere, they show straight butterfly bones and collarbones, snow-white and smooth skin glows with a beautiful luster, they are still young, in the best period, and some are the capital of display.

The auditorium is divided into three floors, which are already full of people, everyone wears all kinds of masks, there are students and teachers, and there are many parents who come to save face for their children, they drive Cadillac or Rolls-Royce or Maybach, and go straight to the school gate, of course, the doorman knows that the people who come to Harrow School are either rich or expensive, and they can't afford to offend so they don't dare to stop, so the parking space is full tonight.

Luo Yaochen felt that his legs and stomach were trembling, and he wanted to pull his legs and run away, he felt that he must have come to the wrong place, yes, he must have come to the wrong place, how could he be the protagonist here, this script must have been written wrong, the place that belonged to him was just an Internet cafΓ© corner full of the smell of tobacco, how could such a glamorous and decent place belong to him. Luo Yaochen suddenly had a feeling that he was saying goodbye to the former Luo Yaochen, he was walking on a road where he didn't know the destination, and the former Luo Yaochen was getting farther and farther away from him, slowly blurring in his sight, Luo Yaochen seemed to be shouting behind his back to come back and not to go on, but Luo Yaochen couldn't hear anything.

At this time, someone pushed him behind his back, and Luo Yaochen lost his center of gravity and took a step.

"It's time to get started, there's not much time left for you to be in a daze," Derry pushed him away, "put away the surprised look on your face, it's not what I want to see." ”

"Cocoa cocoa......" Luo Yaochen stammered nervously.

"Relax, Luo Yaochen, people always have to try new things, and those who don't try will never improve," said Deree, "and this is a trial for the future ball." ”

"I, my dance steps haven't been practiced yet...... Luo Yaochen began to retreat.

Luo Yaochen is using these two weeks of free time to practice, during which Di Rui has been practicing with him, he dances the men's step Di Rui dances the women's step, and it is inevitable to step on Di Rui's feet during the practice, and step on a footprint on the pair of handmade leather shoes, sometimes he will trip him, and in the end he will just stop stepping on his feet, Luo Yaochen feels that he must be embarrassed to go to the dance party like this, Di Rui is very motivated to work extra night for him to strengthen the practice, of course he is motivated, because all this is for a beautiful girl, last night they practiced until midnight, Luo Yaochen still accidentally tripped Di Rui, the two fell to the ground together, the dormitory manager heard the movement and immediately rushed over, opened the door and saw Luo Yaochen and Di Rui lying on the ground hugging each other, the forty-year-old woman dormitory manager was stunned when she saw this scene, and then silently retreated, Luo Yaochen could hear the woman say outside the door, "The young people are really amazing now......

"We've been practicing for two weeks, and I'm sure you've mastered the basic steps even if you don't dance well, and that's enough, just stop tripping over your dance partner, girls don't like their dance partner to be a clumsy guy."

"Is this an encouragement, this kind of encouragement will only be counterproductive, it's like I'm going to the battlefield and my comrades said to me don't worry, if you get a headshot from a flying bullet, it's the best way to die, because you don't feel a little pain, and you can leave a whole corpse." Luo Yaochen said.

"Useful, isn't it? You see you're not stuttering anymore. ”

Di Rui took the first step up to the high platform in front of him and waved his hand to signal the orchestra to be quiet. Luo Yaochen looked at him silently, and then he realized that except for himself, Di Rui has always been a person, he has always been the best and most perfect, and he has been standing alone in a high place out of reach of others, yes, Di Rui is right, they are outstanding, they are not social, the more bright they are, the more they are excluded by others, they are lonely souls in another world.

Therefore, he should be proudly displayed in the eyes of everyone, whether the people below are talking behind your back or rolling their eyes at you, you just need to answer them with absolute pride, because you are unbeatable, irreplaceable!

"On the 31st of October, we got together to celebrate this great holiday," Dilri cleared his throat and began his speech, "In England, every night the children would put on their horrible ghost masks and carry jack-o-lanterns, and they would go door-to-door asking for candy, and if they didn't give us any candy, I remember rushing into their backyard on my motorbike because someone didn't give me candy, making a mess of their elaborate garden, and burning down their ......warehouses by the way."

Luo Yaochen, who was eating pizza at the table, almost choked when he heard this, and said in his heart that people just didn't give you a few pieces of sugar, so they wouldn't burn down other people's warehouses, how many pieces of sugar would you lack as a local tyrant?

Luo Yaochen didn't know that Di Rui's sweets were very limited when he was a child, because the housekeeper thought that eating too much sugar would cause tooth decay, so he strictly restricted his diet, but Halloween was an exception, after all, it was a tradition to ask for candy, and the housekeeper didn't interfere too much with the young master's activities on this day, and there were many children queuing up to come to his house to ask for candy.

"But now that we're all grown up, and our childhood is gone, we've learned to wear fancy clothes to masquerade balls like adults, and we've learned to squander money on Gi'armani's suits and Chanel's bags without any worries, because we're in high society, because we're studying in the most upper-class schools, because we're the kids of the upper class, because we're superior...... Isn't it? Diri raised an eyebrow.

Ah, what kind of speech is this, you can't make a mistake in your brain, is the speech you memorizing overthrowing the bourgeois revolutionary program? Shouldn't you say something uplifting? What's going on with this speech that slaps everyone in the face? Luo Yaochen looked around and saw the unhappy expressions on people's faces, he felt that it was none of his business, and continued to bury his head in eating.

"Yes, we are high people, and that is why we need an occasion for high people to have a high class ball, we are high people, we should not be humbled by it, on the contrary, we should be proud, we have the best education and the best facilities, and our luxury goods and luxury cars are what others can only dream of. We are aristocrats, and aristocrats should always have a proud heart, which is the glory of nobility. Harrow School never accepts lowly people, those who can participate in this ball are the elite of the elite, you are the best people in Harrow School, King Solomon in the future workplace, you are the brightest new star in the new era, and finally light up the light of the new world! Diri held his head high and looked down on the audience, a good leader should be like this, always at the highest point, with a cold heart and majesty, "So let's enjoy this ball, it belongs to the upper class!" ”

It was an unexpected turn of events, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and Luo Yaochen applauded for this excellent speech, he felt that Di Rui was really good, whether he was alone or not, he was always the best of all.

He waved again and the band began to play. The boys reached out to invite their dance partners, and the girls gracefully put their slender hands in their palms, and the two spun around and slid onto the dance floor.

Luo Yaochen also hurriedly put down the pizza in his hand, casually touched his mouth and began to look for a dance partner. Now that he's here, he can't do nothing, and he promised Diri. He took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, which was instructed by Diri, who said that when inviting a dance partner, his hands must be gentle, so that she can feel that he is a calm dance partner, and he must not be too stiff, believe me, girls will not like men who are like dry corpses. Luo Yaochen still understands this, but he is inevitably nervous, there is always a cold sweat in the palms of his hands, Di Rui couldn't help but stroke his forehead and said I think girls hate touching greasy chicken feet more than holding the hands of dry corpses, so he came up with the idea of letting Luo Yaochen wear gloves, which not only avoids sweating palms, but also does not make girls feel that your hands are very stiff.

Luo Yaochen actually found a dance partner very quickly, even he was surprised, there was a kind of joy that peach blossoms fell from the sky, and sure enough, **silk also had a time to turn over. But he soon found out that this is not the case, the ratio of men and women on the dance floor is balanced, this is to ensure that everyone has their own dance partner, after all, it is ridiculous for men or women to dance together, and everyone wears masks, the ghost knows whether it is a handsome guy or **silk or salty uncle under the mask, anyway, wearing a mask, others can't judge you from your appearance, salty and wet uncle and **silk are also as sentimental and high emotional intelligence as rich and handsome in the eyes of others, and similarly, you can't judge whether the dance partner is white and beautiful or rotten under the mask.

Now Luo Yaochen began to imagine what his dance partner looked like when he took off his mask, but he tried not to let himself think about it in a bad place, maybe she was the royal sister, or maybe it was Lori, but from the perspective of physical development, it should be the royal sister, the pair of murder weapons were less than ten centimeters away from him, and the nasal cavity was full of unknown perfume smell, Luo Yaochen pretended not to squint and not look at the beautiful scenery on the girl's chest, but he still couldn't help but glance at a few times. He felt his voice a little hoarse, swallowed his saliva, and stepped up his dance steps.

"Relax, you seem to me to be like a puppet, talking something can make you relax," Diri's voice sounded in the wireless headphones, "** is the best way to relieve tension." ”

Luo Yaochen said in his heart to tune your sister, can you see that I am nervous and I don't see that all my energy is focused on dance steps? I'm afraid that as soon as I open my mouth, I will tripped the royal sister in front of me as soon as I get distracted!

The wireless headset was given to him by Di Rui at the beginning, so that he could keep talking at the ball, they were here to pick up girls, and the target was also wearing a mask, but he definitely couldn't recognize it by looking at his appearance, so he needed to ask the other party's name, Luo Yaochen's participation in the dance party increased the chance of finding her, if Luo Yaochen found it first, then he would use the headphones to inform Di Rui, and when the next song began, he would exchange dance partners with Di Rui, so that his task would be over, if Di Rui found it first, it would be considered to be his favor, after all, he had worked hard.

Luo Yaochen still remembered the girl's name, Xia Moyi.

"Can you tell me your name, handsome?" The dance partner broke the ice first.

Handsome guy? Girl, are you talking about me? No, no, no, I think you're looking for the wrong person, everyone here is handsome except me, if you see me without a mask, you know how short and poor I am, and then you will definitely slap me and shout Damn, you want to take advantage of the old lady like a bear, get out of the way. No, this is not the royal sister, this is the line of a female man!

"Luo Yaochen." Although he thought so in his heart, he still had to agree, Luo Yaochen didn't think there was anything wrong with others calling him a handsome guy, and he couldn't say "guess" cheaply at this time.

"Hello, Luo Yaochen, first time we met, I am Chen Xiaoyan," the girl smiled, her smile was sweet and elegant, "Your taste is great, but your dancing steps are not very good, can you leave a call?" ”

The girl leaned over to Luo Yaochen, her plump breasts pressed against his chest, and the smell of perfume on his face made his brain go blank.

"Oh!" Dilry's exclamation rang in the headphones, apparently he saw the scene, "Hey, listen to me, that girl is interesting to you, trust me, just if you act a little gentleman, you will win her heart." Wouldn't it be the best ending to end this dance with a beautiful girl...... It's a win-win-win-win- ”

Di Rui's words made Luo Yaochen suddenly come to his senses.

! This girl didn't fall in love with me, but because of my financial resources, if he knew that this dress was given to me by you, he would have put me aside in the next second.

He suddenly hated this ball, everyone here is hypocritical, they disguise themselves under masks, above the mask is a polite gentleman or a fair and charming lady, but under the mask is an ugly and false face, pretending to say sweet words, just like Luo Yaochen in the eyes of the girl in front of her, Luo Yaochen in her eyes is rich and handsome, what she likes is not the ** silk version of Luo Yaochen, Luo Yaochen hates himself like this, this is not the real him, he is just a little kid with few ideals, poor and frustrated, I just hope that a girl who really likes him will appear in front of him. He suddenly wanted to push the girl away and turn around and leave, but he didn't have the courage to offend Dilry.

They don't want to show their true side, because no one likes your real side, the real you are cunning, cowardly, selfish, greedy...... How can such a person be liked?

This time Luo Yaochen didn't answer the girl, and he didn't know how to answer, because he didn't have a mobile phone, he didn't want to have anything to do with this girl, and now he just wanted to quickly complete the task given to him by Di Rui and go back to sleep well, he felt that everything in this extravagance was so unsightly...... I want people to burn to ashes!

Just when he was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, the dance music changed, Luo Yaochen sighed, the dance music should be changed, it was time to exchange dance partners, the girl mistakenly thought that Luo Yaochen sighed because she felt that the good time was too short and a pity, and reluctantly said that the next time we meet, remember to give me your contact information, and then she threw herself into the arms of another man in the next second. Luo Yaochen looked at the girl from a distance and felt that she must be asking the man for contact information.

is already the sixth dance partner, Luo Yaochen still hasn't found the girl named Xia Moyi, the first few girls are similar to the first one, they all look at Luo Yaochen's dress and think that he must be a local tyrant, and ask for his mobile phone number when he opens his mouth, Luo Yaochen had to make up a few fools.

There are thousands of people who come here to participate in the ball, and it is simply a needle in a haystack to find a person who cannot be seen on the surface among the thousands of people, Luo Yaochen began to feel that this task was a joke, if everyone on the dance floor was Di Rui's little brother, it would be good to say, he ordered everyone to take action, it is estimated that it will not take two tunes to send the girl named Xia Moyi to Di Rui's arms, so that she is more like a leader, but Di Rui said that there are not many people who can really talk to me in Harrow School, You are one of my few friends, Luo Yaochen said in his heart that you are really tormenting the little brother when you say this, thank you for the trust of the eldest brother, but no one wants to have an extra pig-like teammate by his side.

He didn't belittle himself, but from his past experience, he would mess up what others gave him, when he was in junior high school, the head teacher asked Luo Yaochen to move tables and chairs with a few male classmates, and the damn tables and chairs were placed on the third floor, Luo Yaochen was reckless and moved a table and a chair, but when he went down the stairs, he stepped on the air carelessly, and even fell down with the table, and made a mess with a few classmates below, and the head teacher couldn't help but say "Luo Yaochen, are you a pig, this little thing can make you mess up, what else can you do."

In fact, he just watched others move like that, he just felt that if he didn't add a chair, it would be looked down upon, and with his physical ability, it would be difficult to move just a table, let alone add a chair.

But sometimes you are afraid of being looked down upon by others, in the past you were always useless, always not cared about, so how can you be willing to be silent, even if you are not dazzling, you can't drag others back! But it turned out that your efforts became the laughing stock of everyone, so you never had the idea of being outstanding again.

Now you are covered with famous brands, like a tasteful local tyrant, every girl throws an olive branch to you, you suddenly become outstanding and become sought-after, shouldn't you be extremely happy, shouldn't you put on a condescending posture?

But Luo Yaochen didn't like this kind of self at all.

"I dare to come here to eat without money!"

The rough female voice exploded in the street, and the pedestrians on the side of the road couldn't help but stop to look at the restaurant. The door of the hotel was pushed open, a big-bellied man ran out with a rolling belt, still carrying a few buns in his arms, he knocked over several tables placed outside the store in a row, fierce like a wild boar, out of the store ran out of a few guys holding rolling pins and brooms to chase, the proprietress stood outside the store door shouting. Apparently a beggar or a homeless man is hungry for a bully meal.

The man didn't run far before he was held down by the guy in the store, and then there was a violent beating, the man lay on the ground and covered his head with one hand and the bun in his arms with the other hand for them to beat, they beat until they were tired, spat on the man, and left angrily.

"Grandma, when Lao Tzu has money, I will buy your store and tell you to get out!" The man patted the dirt off his body and cursed while chewing on the buns. "Look at what! I've never seen a bully meal! He shouted at the pedestrians again.

The man has been in Hong Kong for two days, and in these two days, he has spent all the money he has left, so he has to eat the overlord meal. Two days ago, the man was still fooling around in an underground casino in Shanghai, his money was not much, and he owed a lot of debts after losing a few games, just when he was worried about how to repay the debt, God suddenly opened his eyes, he received a text message, someone told him that his son Fei Huang Tengda, the most famous high school in Hong Kong, Harrow School, the man was full of relief, excited to shout thank God, the heart said that I can be regarded as a bright day, as if it is he who Fei Huang Tengda.

Then the man borrowed some money from a few friends and came to Hong Kong, until he stood at the crossroads of the New Territories, he realized that he didn't know where the school was, he turned over his phone to ask the sender, but found that there was no such thing in the text message, he remembered that he had never deleted the text message, he had been too lazy to delete the text message, if he pulled out the spam text message in the mobile phone, he could start a talk show. He began to suspect that he was hallucinating or misseeing, but damn it, he was now in Hong Kong, and he didn't have much money on him, so he thought it would be good to find his son, he wanted to take a good shower, put on expensive clothes and go out to high-end occasions, but in the current situation, it seems that all this is a fantasy. He felt that he still had to find his son, although there was little hope.

Now he's in a taxi again. Of course, he didn't have the money to take a taxi, and now that he was penniless, the most he could do was to be beaten up again, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water anyway.

The guard heard the roar, and he turned his head to see a man stumbling out of the taxi, and the driver followed after him, quickly pinning the man to the ground, followed by punches and kicks.

Just as the doorman was considering whether to go over and help, the driver stopped the fight, got back into the car and left, and the man who was beaten got up and patted the dust on his body and walked towards the doorman.

"Excuse me...... Is this Harrow School? "The man saw that the doorman was a foreigner, and he didn't know if he could understand Chinese.

"Yes, this is Harrow School," the janitor actually spoke fluent Chinese, "how can I help you, sir?" ”

"Noble high school is good, even a doorman is so polite." The man walked over, and at the same time brought a pungent stench, it seemed that the guy hadn't taken a bath for a long time, "I'm coming to my son, let me in." ”

"No, no, you can't go in." The doorman waved his hand again and again, he couldn't let the man in, maybe his first target was not his son but the canteen, and the man was probably lying, the person who could come to Harrow School must be either rich or noble, but the man in front of him looked like a homeless man or a beggar, how could the son of such a person be here. "You can tell me your son's name and I can help you connect with the students."

"No, I have to go see my son in person." Of course he had to go in person, he was afraid that his son would hide inside and not come out, he must have a grudge against the man for doing such an excessive thing to him, how could he want to see him again.

The man began to break in, "Get out of the way, let me in, can't I see my son?" ”

It's already the tenth song, and Luo Yaochen has also changed ten dance partners, but the girl named Xia Moyi still hasn't appeared, Luo Yaochen feels that his feet are sore, and his dance steps are not standard in the first place, so it naturally takes a lot of effort.

"Can you tell your name, beautiful lady?" Luo Yaochen began to take the initiative to attack.

He saw the girl speak, but he heard a strange answer...... He heard his name.

Luo Yaochen was stunned, and couldn't figure out what the situation was now, could it be that this girl was a dance partner who danced with him once? Luo Yaochen wasn't sure he would remember one of his dance partners, his memory was already poor, and he wasn't interested in remembering the appearance of the masks. It seems that the dance partner recognizes him, or maybe she just recognizes the suit.

Once again, he heard his own name. Is the dance partner calling him? Luo Yaochen didn't know how to answer, and then he realized that he didn't have much experience in talking to girls, and most of the previous conversations were taught to him by Di Rui. No, it wasn't the girl calling him, it was a man's voice, and the man's voice overpowered the girl's voice, so Luo Yaochen mistakenly thought it was a girl, but it wasn't Di Rui's voice, and Di Rui's voice was not so rough.

"Luo Yaochen!" This time it was a scream, and his voice was louder than the band's performance.

This time Luo Yaochen really heard clearly, he looked for the voice, and saw the sloppy man through the crowd. The band paused, and for a moment the whole hall was silent, and everyone stopped dancing and looked at this uninvited man, Luo Yaochen's adoptive father.

Of course, the doorman would not let his adoptive father break in, and his adoptive father also knew that the electric baton in the guard's hand was not an ornament, so he asked Luo Yaochen where he was and left, of course his adoptive father would not give up, he was now poor and had no money to eat, so he could only rely on Luo Yaochen. The adoptive father picked a tree that could extend into the wall, and he actually climbed up with this seemingly impossible body, and climbed over the wall with a weight of nearly 300 pounds.

The adoptive father looked like he had been beaten, his face was bruised and purple, and his clothes were torn with holes that he had scratched when he climbed a tree. If it weren't for Luo Yaochen's familiarity with his adoptive father's voice, he would almost not recognize it. It was the voice that had been reprimanded many times, and it had been echoing in some inconspicuous apartment in Shanghai.

The adoptive father made his way through the crowd, ignoring the surprised and disdainful eyes of the people, and headed straight for Luo Yaochen. He was actually recognized from nearly a thousand people! Of course he can recognize you, whether you wear a Burberry suit or Ferragamo leather shoes, disguise yourself tightly, and you will always be the person he knows most in the eyes of his family, even if you don't see your face.

Luo Yaochen let go of his dance partner's hand, and looked at his adoptive father who was walking towards him in a daze.

"He's calling your name, he knows you?" Deri asked in the headphones.

"Dad......" Luo Yaochen said subconsciously.

"He's ...... Your father?! Deary was taken aback.

Di Rui didn't know that Luo Yaochen had a father, he never mentioned this man, and this man never appeared on Luo Yaochen's resume, so Di Rui always thought that Luo Yaochen was an orphan.

"Luo Yaochen? Is that you, Luo Yaochen? The man looked at the young man in a designer suit, and couldn't believe that this was his son who had been kicked out of the house, "Son, I finally found you, do you know how hard I worked?" The doorman, that bastard, dared not let me in, isn't he afraid of offending you, you see you must be a powerful person now, you can fire him with a phone call. ”

"You...... How did it come? Luo Yaochen asked blankly.

When he saw his adoptive father, Luo Yaochen, he immediately fell down, like a wilted cucumber. When he clearly invited his dance partner, he had the pride of a dog, and when he saw his adoptive father, the arrogance disappeared instantly, and in just one second, Luo Yaochen changed from "rich and handsome" back to the ** silk who had nothing to do, just like Cinderella lost everything at the moment of twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

He never thought that his adoptive father would come, since his adoptive father kicked him out of the house, the two have no contact, Luo Yaochen has always thought that he will never see him again, thinking that he is still living a life of eating and drinking in that apartment in Shanghai, who knows that he will find him at this fateful time, the adoptive father seems to not care about appearing in such a high-end occasion in a sloppy dress, and he keeps praising "The noble middle school is rich".

"Someone told me you were here, so I came." The adoptive father's eyes jumped and saw the light of the life-saving straw.

It can't be that this organization wants him to come, you guys are really thoughtful, but this person has nothing to do with me, he broke off relations with me a long time ago, what if he comes? He's not my dad and he won't be my dad. Luo Yaochen's heart was empty.

"I'm sorry for driving you away in the first place, I have to say that I was really stupid at that time, and I regretted it afterwards, I felt like a brute," the adoptive father scratched his head with little hair, looking very ashamed, "How can I drive my son away, after all, I am your father, even if we are not related by blood, we have a relationship for more than ten years!" ”

Hey, what kind of relationship for more than ten years, we are not old husbands and wives who love each other, Luo Yaochen complained in his heart.

"So you'll forgive me, won't you? Forgive you for being an incompetent father. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Of course. Luo Yaochen said dryly.

"I knew you would forgive me," his adoptive father hugged him vigorously, suffocating from the sour smell on his body.

Don't touch me, this dress is not mine, I can't afford to pay for it if it gets dirty.

"My son is just promising, you see you are wearing a famous brand, oh oh, this watch must be very expensive, you know I have always wanted to have such a decent watch." The adoptive father chattered.

Suddenly Luo Yaochen became the focus of the audience, everyone looked at the father and son who "hated to see each other late" with strange eyes, with disdain and mockery, this scene made people mistakenly think that Luo Yaochen abandoned his father, and he lived a rich life but did not support his father, it seems that this father can no longer hold on to come to Luo Yaochen, everyone who thinks so treats each other with a nose, and a few of them are dance partners who dance with them. Luo Yaochen looked around, he could read their eyes, which had been the most hated look for him. He was embarrassed in front of everyone, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, feeling that the look seemed to be able to tear the suit on his body and expose his essence naked.

This scene made him unable to get off the stage, Luo Yaochen really wanted to push his adoptive father away, and said condescendingly, "Didn't you say that I lost your face?" Since I've disgraced you, why do you want to beg me now? Regret it, you bastard, this is retribution", he should have laughed hard after saying this, but Luo Yaochen couldn't laugh, these were just thinking about it in his heart, and he was not a ruthless and unrighteous person.

"You see I'm going to disgrace you by dressing like this, but it doesn't matter, you're going to make me just like you, right? Just like you are now. The adoptive father looked him in the eye, his gaze so hot that Luo Yaochen felt like a girl was confessing to him.

"I, I, I...... I don't understand what you mean. Luo Yaochen stammered.

He suddenly realized something, just like the prey vaguely sensed the killing intent of the predator, but did not know the location of the predator.

"Don't understand?" The adoptive father was stunned, and his eyes suddenly became fierce. "Money! You don't understand?! I want money! The adoptive father was furious, roaring like a beast, the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, he grabbed Luo Yaochen's collar fiercely, and he vented the humiliation accumulated in the past few days, "Are you playing tricks on me?" I've put down my face and begged you, what else do you want? How can I say that I am also your father! I'm so poor that I can't even afford to eat, and you're just watching your father starve? You have so much money now, can't you reach out to help me, you are so ruthless? ”

For the first time, Luo Yaochen felt his heart slowly sinking, sinking into endless darkness, his eyes were numb and empty, watching his adoptive father's gaffe roar, saliva flying, dangling himself like a puppet.

"No...... No, I don't have any money. Luo Yao Chenmu said stunned.

"Don't take me for a fool! Don't have money? Ghost believes! Where do you have a suit and a watch without money, did you steal it, or did you steal it? Will my son be a shameless thief? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, I don't have any money. He hung his head.

"Is it hard for you to give me a little money?" Seeing that he was unmoved, the adoptive father became even more angry: "You brute! ”

The adoptive father pushed Luo Yaochen out, and Luo Yaochen staggered back a few steps, bumped into his dance partner, and the two fell to the ground together.

In the end, he still knocked others down, Luo Yaochen felt that he had burdened his dance partner, and if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have made a fool of his dance partner.

An object rolled to his hand, it was a golden mask, there was a feather for decoration in the left ear, Luo Yaochen didn't have the heart to look at the mask, but Di Rui in the distance was stunned, that mask belonged to Luo Yaochen's dance partner, the mask fell off the moment the dance partner fell, and Luo Yaochen's dance partner was actually the prey they had been looking for.

"Xia Moyi!" Diri exclaimed.

From the beginning, she didn't recognize it not only because she was wearing a mask, but more importantly, she was dressed beyond Di Rui's expectations, Xia Moyi was wearing an extremely ordinary plain white dress, a pair of Greek-style strappy sandals under her feet, and her long blonde hair was tied up, if it weren't for her hair being blonde, at first glance she looked like an authentic and ordinary Chinese student...... She disguised herself. But the moment the mask fell, her disguise disappeared, no matter how ordinary her outfit was, her beauty could still amaze the audience, and everyone gasped for her at that moment. The adoptive father was also stunned the moment he saw her, that face is by no means something that the painter can depict, and the person who can depict it must have stolen the brush from heaven!

It's too dazzling, it's really dazzling, like a thousand rays of light that cuts through the boundless night, so dazzling that people think that she is here to smash the field. Perhaps that's why she's disguised herself.

"Can you give me back the mask?" Xia Moyi stood up and stretched out her hand to Luo Yaochen.

She behaved less like asking for a mask, more like a noble princess giving a kiss to the prince.

Luo Yaochen raised his head to meet that face, and for a moment he felt that he saw an angel, but he didn't have any plans to travel to heaven so soon.

He heard laughter, clear as a silver bell, not a mockery from others, not mixed with any unpleasant elements, just a smile that came from the heart as pure as a blank slate. Xia Moyi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Luo Yaochen's appearance, although the laughter was not loud, it was extremely clear in the dead hall, everyone could hear it, she just thought Luo Yaochen's appearance was too funny, she had never seen such a decrepit face, like a little white rabbit who was taken by a bear to wipe his buttocks.

Luo Yaochen suddenly had a strange feeling, Di Rui was the king of Zhou You of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xia Moyi was a compliment, and he was to please the princes of the Queen of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Sure enough, I can only be this kind of supporting role!

Hey, be considerate of other people's moods, don't laugh so happily, okay, even if you are the queen of the Western Zhou Dynasty who came to laugh when she saw my decay, you should say thank you after laughing. Luo Yaochen muttered in his heart.

But he obediently handed over the mask.

"Thank you." Xia Moyi smiled.

"You kid...... actually soaked in Bai Fumei! The adoptive father's eyes were bloodshot, "You fucking told me that you don't have money, how can Bai Fumei be close to you if you don't have money, just with your face?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just his dance partner, we didn't know each other before." Xia Moyi said lightly.

"It's none of your business!" The adoptive father turned his head and stared. He stepped forward and grabbed Luo Yaochen, "Did you hear it, give me money!" I want money! ”

The adoptive father raised his fist, and Luo Yaochen turned his head and closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to fall on his face. But there was no expected pain, Luo Yaochen opened his eyes and saw that the genuine old punch stopped less than a centimeter away from him, because the other hand stopped his movements.

"You're right, sir, you ought to be present on such an occasion with dignity, of course," said Deary, pulling a cigar from his breast pocket and putting it into his adoptive father's mouth, "but you ought not to touch him." ”

"Who are you, this is our family's private matter." The adoptive father roared, and he took the cigar and didn't want to throw it away.

"If I'm not mistaken, you kicked your son out of the house in the first place, so he is no longer your family, and your affairs cannot be counted as private affairs." Deary let go of his hand and lit another cigar himself, "I forgot to introduce myself." Edward? Diry, the board of trustees of Harrow School and Luo Yaochen's bodyguard. ”

His name exploded in the crowd. There are few people here who don't know Diry, he is the main force of the school basketball team, girls like to see him dunk on the court, he even has his own cheerleading team, every time he brings his exclusive Charlen piano to appear on the stage, the master-level performance skills push the atmosphere of the party to **. Edward? The name Dilri always appears at the top of the school rankings, like a beacon for Harrow School, and people can only look up to him, and when he graduates, he may become a legend of Harrow School. Such a person actually worked as a bodyguard for the cowardly who was sitting on the ground?!

Dilry took off his mask and bowed elegantly, exuding the unique temperament of an English gentleman. For a while, the aura of the entire hall was between him and Xia Moyi, but it did not give people a sense of disobedience.

"I'm sorry I'm late, I promise it won't happen again." Di Rui was respectful to Luo Yaochen.

Brother, you are mistaken, I am only your insured, not the master, how can I afford to raise you as a tyrant servant!

"It's okay, I'm fine." Luo Yaochen said softly.

"I have to correct what you just said, sir, my master Luo Yaochen is not as humble as you say," Dilry looked at his adoptive father, his cold gaze shuddering, "on the contrary, he is the man I approve of, the best master I have ever met, this Burberry suit and Ferragamo handmade leather shoes show his taste, he has the capital to attend such a lavish ball." ”

You gave me this dress, okay, how can I have the money to buy such a luxurious thing, at most I wear imitation Adi and Nike brands, big brother, you are really amazing! Luo Yaochen said in his heart.

"You want money, don't you?" Di Rui took out a stack of dollar bills from his collar and slapped his adoptive father's face, "This is the money you want, take it and get out of my sight!" ”

The adoptive father clumsily waved his arms in the air to grab the coins, and his eyes shone with a greedy light, like a bear with honey on his head. The people around him let out elegant laughter, Luo Yaochen looked at his adoptive father's antics but didn't laugh, didn't say anything, just felt a little sad in his heart.

Those who once knew him no longer need him, and perhaps they will forget about him, just as his past said goodbye to him.

"Do you want to go on with the ball, master? The guests can't wait. ”

"Oh, okay." Di Rui said this, and Luo Yaochen could only go down, otherwise Di Rui would not be able to step down.

"The car is ready, please come with me."

Deary led him to the door.

Luo Yaochen's eyes widened suddenly, he really saw a car quietly parked on the lawn outside the church, and the snow-bright hernia lamp was dazzling. At first, he thought that Di Rui was just trying to get out of here, but now it seems that he is not just talking, he is going to play this scene to the end! The white supercar has a Lamborghini-like shape, and its flat, streamlined body indicates that it is a good car that can run at top speed.

"This car...... I've seen it in magazines. Luo Yaochen said tremblingly.

Damn, what kind of words is this, it seems like the old-fashioned accosting that Jia Baoyu said when she met Lin Daiyu, "I have seen this sister before"......

"The Sibel SSC, priced at $970,000, is the world's fastest supercar, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, and the 1,350-horsepower 7.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine can push the top speed to 443 km/h. Deri opened the car door for him, "Any more questions?" ”

Hell, how could it be okay! What do you call my favorite one! Could it be that in your script I have a garage full of supercars? Luo Yaochen was shocked. But he didn't say it, and he couldn't refuse.

"No, let's go."

Luo Yaochen glanced back and saw that everyone was looking at him with monster eyes, as if Ultraman had found that his opponent had suddenly become ...... Transformers. I really didn't expect that I would have such a high-profile time, but Luo Yaochen didn't feel how awesome he was at all, all this was just Di Rui helping him, he just followed Di Rui's script.

Through the figure of the people, Luo Yaochen saw that Xia Moyi was also looking at him, there was no superfluous expression on her face, and she finally put on the golden mask, so she couldn't see any expression. At that moment, he saw himself standing in the crowd in a trance, he wasn't sure if he could see clearly, but he could clearly feel his sadness.

They got into the car. The engine roared, and the SSC flicked its tail and drove into the endless night with a gorgeous 90Β° drift. When he left the school gate, Di Rui flashed his student ID, he paused and threw a sentence "There are trespassers in the church", and then Luo Yaochen saw cold sweat on the doorman's forehead, and he kept a bowing posture and did not dare to look up.

They were driving on Tuen Mun Road. It was already twelve o'clock in the morning, and there were not many cars on the road, the cold moonlight illuminated the road white, and the street trees on both sides quickly retreated, and the canopies swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. Di Rui and Luo Yaochen haven't said a word since they left the school gate, and have been silent, Luo Yaochen wants to say something to break the embarrassing atmosphere, but he doesn't know what to say.

"What do you think of my speech?" Diri asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Luo Yaochen didn't react for a while, "Oh, that's good, when you read the middle part, I thought you were funny." ”

Luo Yaochen smiled like an idiot, and immediately put it away again. Damn, what kind of nonsense is this, people just gave you enough face, you are just a brain show when you say that.

But there was no superfluous expression on Deri's face, "Halfway through the reading, you thought I was pulling hatred, right?" He paused, "Originally, what I wanted to say was not like that, there was no twist, I wanted to expose those ugly and false realities, no matter what they thought of me. ”

"I don't like my current self, and I don't like the status of a nobleman, but fate binds me tightly, I can't break free, I can only accept that this is the cage left to me after trading with the devil." He let out a long sigh, "I couldn't say what I was supposed to say, and as you said, I changed my speech because I was amused." ”

No, no, no, brother, you misunderstood, I mean you're showing your brains in the worst places.

"Why?" Luo Yaochen listened carefully.

"At the end of the day, I don't want to make a bad impression on them...... I don't have many friends here, so if I say what I think from the bottom of my heart, it might be even more annoying. Deriry's gaze gradually lowered, "You're not popular in the first place, and you want to be with them, so why would you do something annoying?" Alone, only one person will be very lonely, sometimes I see others get together to talk and laugh, talk hotly, I don't feel very good on the side, I think they take away my temperature, make me feel cold, in fact, you also want to share a little warmth, don't you, you also want to fit into that atmosphere. ”

"Is that the reason for helping me?"

"Of course, you can also think of it as sympathy, I saw that you were surprised and happy when you saw your father, but when you heard him ask you for money, your eyes suddenly changed, that kind of look is very similar to me before, I hate that helpless and sad look the most, so I can't help but help you."

"But you left your prey behind...... Luo Yaochen said.

"You can pick up girls at any time, and it's more important to be able to help a close friend," said Deri, "I said you were one of my few friends, how can a friend not lend a hand when he is in trouble?" ”

This is called ...... Friends? Luo Yaochen smiled and scratched his head, he didn't expect that he really became a friend of the local tyrant, if it was an ordinary local tyrant, he probably wouldn't even look at Luo Yaochen.

"Thank you." He said, "But it's really useless for you to help me like this, and tomorrow I will still have to change back to the previous ** silk in school, and I should look down on me or look down on me." ”

"Of course I've thought about the future, don't think I'm just a hot head. To make them think that you are really a young chairman or CEO......"

"Hey, I'm too young, I'm only 17 years old!" Luo Yaochen was surprised.

"I'm also 17 years old, but I'm also a trustee of Harrow School, so there's no contradiction between the two."

"Okay, okay, you go ahead ......" Luo Yaochen was speechless.

"So the best way to show your identity is this car, a chairman or CEO should always have a car that he loves, a good car can highlight your taste and financial resources."

"What...... Meaning? Luo Yaochen felt his head buzz.

"That's what I mean by giving you this car, you already have a villa, and you have a good car, isn't it just the right match? Aren't you Chinese girls very optimistic about men who have cars and houses, so that you will also be favored by girls in the future. Deri smiled.

β€œγͺに? what? Wait, I heard you right, you're going to give me this car? Friend, are you kidding, don't be kidding, okay, I have a bad heart......"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious," Deri frowned, "and the decisions I made were always serious. ”

"But we're just playing on the spot, why don't we take it so seriously!"

"Isn't there an old saying in China called fake drama is really done, and I don't just think about you, if you really change back to **silk tomorrow, it will also damage my image, we are now grasshoppers on a rope...... I didn't misunderstand that, right? ”

"But friend, it's a terrible thing for you to give me this car, I'm not old enough to take the driver's license test, and I haven't even touched the steering wheel, oh no, I've touched it in a simulated driving class before, but this thing is real, aren't you afraid that I'll crash it?" Also, I'm a poor guy now, and I can't afford to pay for this car! ”

"Don't worry, I can teach you how to drive, trust me, my driving skills are absolutely top-notch, I've competed in professional racing before, and I've finished second. You don't have to worry about the gas money, we promised to cover all your expenses, and the gas money will be included. ”

Sure enough, the thinking of local tyrants is different from ordinary people...... By the way, I haven't seen Nuoyin and Ning Xize recently, what are they doing? Living an ordinary life like you? I see you've been at school, and I thought you were a mysterious organization that was supposed to go on some special mission. ”

"No, no, no, as you can imagine, they are indeed on a special mission, in the North Pole."

78Β°55'N, 11Β°56'E, Svalbard, Norway.

Last night's blizzard buried the black soil, leaving it white as far as the eye could see, and the temperature plummeted overnight, reaching an unprecedented minus 44Β°C, a symbol of the beginning of winter.

The sea began to freeze, and the fish swam deeper to get used to the temperature, but there were still two Norwegians on the shore who did not give up and dug an ice cave in the sea, hanging down the long fishing line, and they wore huge cold-resistant clothes and wrapped themselves like a rice dumpling.

"Hell, my snot is frozen," said one of them, "Bill, do you really think we can catch Arctic salmon?" Salmon can't stand it at these temperatures, and with it's an ominous Black Friday, I'm not sure how lucky we are. ”

Considered a gift from heaven to the Norwegians, Arctic salmon is a salmon found in the waters around the Arctic Circle, with its delicious taste and firm flesh, it is considered a superior delicacy in the food world, and although this fish is very hardy, it is difficult for salmon to survive in the face of extreme temperatures.

"Be quiet, Andy, you're going to make a noise about the salmon." Evans? Bill stared at the calm water and didn't see a single sign of the fish being hooked, "The cold water in the sea will rise after entering the winter, and this part of the cold water will be greatly reduced after freezing, so the temperature change in the area where the sea is not deep will not change too much, the depth is about 50 meters, salmon like that environment, so we have a chance, we just need to be patient." ”

"Maybe you're right. Look over there! ”

Bill looked in the direction Andy was pointing and saw a polar bear break through the ice in the distance, it jumped to the shore vigorously, shook its body and shook off the seawater, it had a huge arctic salmon in its mouth, the polar bear seemed to realize that two creatures were watching it, and ran away with his prey. Two months ago they could see seals and walruses basking on the reef, and now even hardy polar bears are rare, and the polar night will soon be 100 days long, when it will be dark and monotonous black and white between the sky and the earth.

"If only I could be like a polar bear." Andy's face was full of envy.

"If that's the case, I can consider you as a spare food in times of scarcity, I've never tasted polar bear meat, I don't know if it's good or not...... Hush! Whisper Andy, I see the shadow of the salmon, it looks like a big guy! Looks like we've got dinner done tonight! Bill became excited, holding the rod steadily.

A dark shadow flashed in the water. Just as Bill was frustrated by the escape, the shadow turned back, and it grew larger, indicating that it was on the rise. The two of them held their breath, for fear of making a little noise and disturbing the meal.

Closer, closer! The prey has an unprecedented huge size, but Bill was suddenly stunned, no, what's wrong, they lengthened the fishing line to 50 meters in order to catch the salmon, but the salmon was only 10 meters away from them, it didn't bite the bait, it kept floating!

It can't be a shark, Bill thought.

In the last moment, they saw clearly, and what they saw was a human face!

What a crazy move, who would dive in sub-zero icy water?

But the man who had crawled out of the ice cave answered them. She was a girl, she looked very young, and she was wearing only a bikini swimsuit in this terrible weather, her skin was rosy from the cold, and her hot body made the blood of two Norwegians shivering in the cold wind boil.

"This is the salmon you wanted, right? I don't recognize this fish. The girl sat on the edge of the ice cave and tucked her long black hair back behind her shoulders. She has a Chinese face, but she is fluent in English.

Because the attention of the Norwegians was all on the girl, they did not find a salmon floating up, the salmon could not but be said to be the best, the visual weight was about 15 kilograms, it was a rare "Arctic King", the strange thing is that the fish did not die, from time to time it fluttered a few times, it looked like it was temporarily in shock, the Norwegian uncle did not understand how the girl caught it at all.

"I've given it to you." "You can't catch it with a 50-metre line, they swim to a depth of about 100 metres," the girl said. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she walked to the shore, she was as beautiful as a rose in the snow. The two Norwegian uncles watched the girl leave with astonishment on their faces, and when they came to their senses, they hurriedly fished up the salmon and gave a thumbs up to the wonderful girl.

Nuoyin pushed open the door and walked in, Ning Xize, who was sitting on the sofa flipping through a book, glanced up at her, then picked up a blanket and draped it over her, and put a cup of hot cocoa on the table.

"Beware of catching a cold." Ning Xize said lightly.

"Oh." Noyin sat down and drank cocoa obediently.

"Why go swimming? It's cold today and it's easy to catch a cold. ”

"In order to help those two Norwegian uncles," Nuoyin smiled brightly, revealing two mischievous tiger teeth, "I saw that they had been squatting there for almost a morning, and I guess they couldn't catch anything, so I helped them, you know that I don't like to see the end of trying hard for a long time without results." ”

"I've always known that you don't like watching TV series with tragic endings." Ning Cize said.

"Is there any news from the diving team?" Noyin asked.

"I was about to say. They wrote back two minutes ago that they had found it, and I felt the need to check it out for ourselves. ”

"Don't go!" Noyin curled up like a frightened cat.

"Why? Don't you like snorkeling? Ning Xize looked at her suspiciously.

"I'm afraid of cold ......"

Ning Xize was speechless, with an expression of "you are teasing me", and he wanted to say "I am afraid of the cold and go to help others catch fish".
